Ebisu (エビス, Ebisu) is one of the supporting characters in Naruto universe. He is a tokubetsu jōnin from Konohagakure who specialises in the private training of elite ninja, as stated by Kakashi Hatake. He is also the leader of Team Ebisu, which consists of Konohamaru Sarutobi, Udon, and Moegi.
Appearance
Ebisu has been portrayed as having dark hair and brown eyes and is always seen with his trademark sunglasses. Usually he is seen in the standard Konoha shinobi outfit, albeit without the flak jacket. He also wears his forehead protector like a bandanna. When deployed on missions, or if the situation calls for it he will don the flak jacket as part of his outfit.
Personality
Ebisu is portrayed as a stern and "by-the-book" type of mentor. Initially, he expressed his dislike for Naruto Uzumaki, and believed he was a nuisance and ridiculed his dream of becoming Hokage as he believes that only people of high lineage could amount to anything. After seeing Naruto’s positive impact on Konohamaru and spending the day as his teacher, Ebisu's view on the young ninja changes, as he begins to let go of his misguided hatred and respect Naruto. During the Pain Invasion, he refuses to inform Pain's Naraka Path about Naruto's whereabouts even under the threat of death. He is also rather dedicated to his pupils, and has shown immense pride in them, such as when Konohamaru performed the Rasengan on Pain while rescuing Ebisu from the dangerous missing-nin.
